Abstract: PCT No. PCT/SE98/00120 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 29, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 29, 1999 PCT Filed Jan. 28, 1998 PCT Pub. No. WO98/33745 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 6, 1998The present invention comprises a method for biological oxidation of nitrogen in water, e.g., wastewater, nitrification, by using ammonia-rich water for the selection and enrichment of nitrifying micro-organisms in a separate aerated reaction volume, where organic matter already has been reduced. The nitrifying micro-organisms will get a competing edge compared to other species, as they are being able to obtain energy from the oxidation of ammonia into nitrate. The method can be applied to the activated sludge process by the introduction of a sludge aeration zone on the recycled sludge, and also be combined with a sludge anoxic zone, for denitrification, enabling a more reliable operation of biological nitrogen as well as phosphorus removal, by maximal use of reaction volumes with lower detention time and lower costs. It can also be applied to a fixed bed process. The possibility of stimulating the micro-organisms to higher activity by changing the physical-chemical conditions is also included, as well as improving the sludge separation characteristics. The method is enabling an overall view of the process, integrating different process stages for optimisation and best possible operational results.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for parallel displacement of insert holders (10b-10d) included in a set of insert holders (10a-10d) for metal cutting, especially parting or grooving. In connection with insert holders adapted for inserts that perform parting or grooving it is common that a set of insert holders are arranged side by side, adjacent inserts clamped in said respective holders having equidistant relationship relative to each other. To achieve said equidistant relationship spacers are used, said spacers being applied between the insert holders. Since this handling of spacers is performed manually it is at once realised that such arrangement is time consuming when the distance between adjacent inserts is to be changed, said equidistant relationship however being maintained. This happens quite frequently, e.g., when manufacturing parts of ball bearings. The present invention is characterized in that a simultaneous parallel displacement of the insert holders (10b-10e), and consequently also the inserts clamped in said insert holders (10b-10e), is performed by cooperation between internal and external threads (21, 27, 28, 30, 34, 36, 40) of screws (20, 26) and nuts (24, 32, 38) respectively.

Abstract: A laser satellite communication system which avoids atmospheric, wind and turbulence effects. A satellite or high altitude platform communication system includes an earth-orbiting satellite or high altitude platform carrying a laser communications receiver and an acknowledgement transmitter. A ground terminal having a laser communications transmitter which is caused to continuously transmit large data block signals. When one block of data signals is received at the satellite or platform, an acknowledgement signal is sent to earth from the satellite or platform. The ground terminal receives the acknowledgement signal and causes the ground terminal laser communication transmitter to continuously transmit the next succeeding large block data signals. This process is repeated until all of the data has been received by the earth-orbiting satellite or high altitude platform, whereby all of the large data block signals are received by the laser communication receiver through scintillation windows in the atmosphere.

Abstract: An assembly for producing a finished shape for a rod after the last rolling stage of a multi stand steel mill. This apparatus provides an operation for correcting minor surface irregularities and shape distortion of the rod as it exits from the finishing roll stand. The apparatus consists of four rollers mounted in an assembly which resembles a roller entry guide except that the rollers are capable of producing changes in shape of a work product passing therethrough. The orientation of the roller axis is slowly and constantly changed to prevent wear distortion of the rollers which may result when the rollers are required to roll a malformed product from fixed roller axes. The rollers may be driven in some circumstances.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des compositions de revêtement durcissables à faible teneur en composés organiques volatils, destinées à être utilisées dans diverses couches de laque très brillantes résistantes à l'attaque, telles que les revêtements de l'industrie automobile. Le liant de la composition comprend un composant silicium/hydroxyle et un composant de réticulation. Le composant silicium/hydroxyle renferme un ou plusieurs oligomères réactifs ayant une fraction cycloaliphatique linéaire ou ramifiée et au moins deux groupes fonctionnels, l'un d'entre eux au moins étant un groupe silane ou silicate, le reste étant un groupe hydroxyle. On a découvert avec surprise que l'adjonction de fonctionnalités silane ou silicate dans ces oligomères réactifs permet d'accroître de façon notable la teneur en matières solides de la composition, pour des viscosités réduites de la composition. Par conséquent, ces compositions à faible teneur en composés organiques volatils et à haute teneur en matière solides peuvent être appliquées rapidement par des moyens d'application classiques, tels que la pulvérisation.

Abstract: A method for adjusting a fuel control system of an internal combustion engine to account for variations in the energy content of a fuel delivered to the engine involves monitoring the O2 level of the engine exhaust gases. The fuel may be a gaseous fuel for example. The fuel control system utilizes a stored gaseous fuel energy content value (EG) to determine the necessary duration of a gaseous fuel admission valve control signal. The method includes sensing an actual engine exhaust gas O2 level and comparing the actual exhaust gas O2 level with a desired exhaust gas O2 level. The stored gaseous fuel energy content value (EG) is adjusted based upon the comparison. The desired exhaust gas O2 level may be determined as a function of one or more engine operating parameters which indicate a desired or expected air/fuel ratio, the level of O2 in the exhaust gases being an indicator of the air/fuel ratio.

Abstract: The invention relates to a thermohydraulic sun-tracking device for an element for capturing solar energy (1). Said element can pivot about at least one axis of rotation (5). The sun-tracking device has two absorber units (7a, 7b) which face each other in relation to the axis of rotation, which are fluidly connected to each other and which contain a common working fluid; and a light control unit which reflects and/or shuts out light. Said light control unit pivots with the element for capturing solar energy in order to produce a righting moment in the event of a positioning error by irradiating the absorber units asymmetrically. According to the invention, the light control unit has a precision adjustment reflector element (8a, 8b) and/or a return reflector element (10a, 10b) for at least one absorber unit (7a, 7b). These are arranged in such a way that a very high level of tracking accuracy can be obtained with the precision adjustment reflector element (8a, 8b) and the return reflector element (10a, 10b) enables a movement back eastwards or a movement westwards over angles of error of more than 90 DEG . The invention also relates to the use of this method e.g., for low maintenance solar collector tracking without using external energy or controls.
